Return to Augie Hobble

291 pp. | Roaring Brook | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62672-054-1 $16.99
(3) 4-6 A wacky, pun-riddled story of amusement park–dwelling Augie changes tone rather abruptly when a tragedy befalls Augie's best friend and Augie believes it's his fault. But everything becomes both light and bizarre again when paranormal happenings help Augie handle his bullies. In the picture-book creator's debut novel, Smith's signature illustrations alternate with more rudimentary drawings attributed to Augie.
